By drilling holes in a piece of PVC and then filling them with soft plastic, scientists in Germany have built a device that can effectively make objects invisible to sound waves. The performance of the acoustic "invisibility cloak" exceeds that of existing electromagnetic devices and could open up new ways of manipulating waves, including the development of shields against seismic waves.
Mechanical acoustic cloaking, wow. To read more, click here.
